Notes for Contributors

Contents

Discipline Areas

The IJTHLE Editorial Board invites submissions from across the Tourism, Hospitality Leisure and Event domains, including tourism, hospitality, management, business, geography, history, art, architecture, archaeology, leisure, sport, environment, economics, culture, tradition, event, festival, education, and all other related areas.

Who Can Submit?

Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in IJTHLE provided they own the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorised by the copyright owner(s) to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer).

General Submission Rules

Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series or conference proceedings does not normally constitute prior publication. By submitting material to IJTHLE, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that they will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at IJTHLE. If you have concerns about the submission terms for IJTHLE, please contact the editors.

Screening Process

Manuscripts may be pre-screened to ensure they fit the aims and scope of the Journal. It is editorial policy that manuscripts are sent to at least two anonymous peer reviewers. Our aim is to make a decision on each manuscript within 3 months.

Themed Issues

Proposals for Special or Themed Issues are welcome.

While the primary area of focus is Irish Tourism, Hospitality, Leisure and Event research, submissions on other themes are also welcome, once there is a cognate relationship with the IJTHLE. Special or Themed Issues should normally comprise a minimum of four or five related articles of around 5,000 words each, plus an Introduction and/or Editorial.

Suggestions for special/themed issues should be addressed to the Editors in the first instance. A short document outlining the proposed theme that you would like to cover should include details of why you feel that this theme is of contemporary interest; a list of four or five potential articles or authors (most of who will have agreed to contribute); and an overview of the Guest Editor(s) recent publications. Once approved, the Guest Editor(s) will have responsibility for managing the paper submission and review process and for ensuring the quality of the issue. All published content must be approved through the same standards as the IJTHLE in terms of refereeing and editorial process, and final editorial control remains with the IJTHLE Editors.
